No Shame, No Fear

Shropshire, 1662: Seventeen-year-old Will
Heywood comes home to begin an apprenticeship
arranged by his wealthy father. Susanna Thorn, a
young Quaker girl, leaves her family to become a
servant in the same town.

Will and Susanna meet and fall in love, but
face opposition on all sides. Theirs is a story
that speaks across the centuries, telling of
love and the struggle to stay true to what is
most important – in spite of parents, society
and even the law.

Shortlisted for the Guardian Children’s
Fiction Prize and the Whitbread Children’s Book
Award, No Shame, No Fear has proved
popular with readers aged from 12 to 90.

"For all teenagers and adults who want
to remind themselves how powerful teenage
passion can be." Carousel
